Local cuemaker in Croatia and i try to build cue for me :rolleyes:
I have q for you people:

Rings are made from juma, and i will put this ringwork with sandblasting:

We will use polyurethane varnish, so please recommend some black paint (or something) for filling :thumbup:
 
Very nice work Buddy. You mentioned sand blasting? Interesting.

Atlas and a couple of others sell black and white powder to mix with epoxy.
Works very well. I believe that you can buy the powder at furniture refinishing places too. I have seen it but for the price, not that much difference between the two.

Thanks man :thumbup:

Atlas won't do business with Europe anymore. They have dealer here... but he is too expensive & don't have 10 % of stuff Atlas have.

It looks as though the etched lines are fairly shallow.Epoxy needs to have a little depth to get a bite so that it isn't drug out after wiping or sanding off the excess. I believe that I would flow a little of India ink into the etchings and then when dry use a clear, finishing epoxy to seal the entire area or cue.

With technique used we can dig into the plastic much deeper than shown. I will broaden rings a bit so middle part won't touch each other.
 
ACP composites are really good to deal with. I have met them and done business with them for about 10 years now.
To make the epoxy black, most black powder is just carbon black.
The cheapest way to get carbon black is to get some carbon electrode material used to make electrodes for edm machining. Just sand it as you add it to your epoxy mix. Charcoal also works well. But I just buy the powders these days as they are less hassle for me.
There are a lot of pigments available for epoxies these days.
